Descendants of Richard WALLIS/ WALLICE

Robert WALLIS is believed to have (nearly?) served at Waterloo and deserted. He changed his
name temporarily to something else. He was town crier (in Codnor, Belper or
Nottingham/ Sneinton?) and had
to "cry" his own granddaughter (Susannah Cater) lost when she bunked out of the window one night, reason unknown.
There is a record of Robert WALLIS a framework knitter who absconded from the Leicestershire
Militia at Shepshed, Leics in 1809, aged 24 and this could be the same Robert.
There was a marriage in Duffield on 3Apr 1809 between Robert WALKER and Susannah KIRKHAM
and this could fit - WALLIS May have been mis-transcribed as WALLIS and
Susannah's name could perhaps be KIRKMAN.

Some of the edges of this are fuzzy. The clergy here seemed to go in for
creative spelling.
